Description

A Heritage Impact Assessment was carried out in advance of proposals including the excavation of land, engineering operations, creation of tracks, dams and associated development as part of a wider river restoration scheme. The work included a comprehensive desk based assessment and a site visit on 15 September 2021, although vegetation and safe access prevented full inspection of the course of the river in places.
